Today I am so excited to share with you a mixed media piece I did for Penny Black.

I used an old postcard photo I have which I blew up to fit into the 6 x 9 wood piece I bought at Michaels. I covered the piece with acrylic dabbers from Ranger. I then glued down the lady with gel medium. I stamped the flowers with black staz-on. I laid the stencil on the piece and chalked the flowers on the background. I then painted the stamped flowers with paint from the dabbers. I stamped the butterflies on white c/s with black staz-on then cut them out and glued them down with gel medium. I used chalks and colored pencils to color the lady and add some texture to the piece. I laid my other flower stencil on her hair and used a white paint pen to make the flower in her hair. I used white gesso for highlights and the dress. I also used black and white gesso to make the splatters over the piece.

Below are the products I used from Penny Black and the photo for you to use in your mixed media piece! Don't forget to head over to the Penny Black Blog where they will be featuring more of my designs for the new line and they are also having a giveaway!!!

Hello! This is a mixed media angel I painted on an old cupboard door. I used acrylics, chalks, colored pencils, watercolors and I can't remember what else! I took some progression photos so you could see. Thanks for looking!
